UNETE LONGLEY LEWIS SAGENDORPH, OF CINCINNATI, OHIO, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO HARLAN P. LLOYD,OF SAME PLACE.

SHEET-METAL CORNER-IRON.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 364,044, dated May 31,1887.

Application filed January 8, 1887. Serial No. 223,757. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LONGLEY LEWIS SAGEN- DORIH, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing in the city of Cincinnati, in the county of Hamiltonand State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inSheet- Metal Corner-Irons, of which the following is a specification. r,

' These corner-irons are applied to corners of the outside or the insideof buildings, or both,

as the case may be, and they are primarily intended to be used inconnection with metal The metal sheeting used in conjunction with such acorner-iron may be of any desired description. For the purposes ofillustration I have in certain of the figures of the drawings shown thecorner-iron in combination with corrugated sheet-iron or metallicweather-boarding.

The various features of my invention and the advantages arising fromtheir use, con- I jointly or otherwise, will be apparent from thefollowing description.

In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, Figure1 is a perspective view of a section of my improved sheet metalcorner-iron for use on a convex corner of a building. Fig. 2 is aperspective view of a section of my improved sheet-metal corneriron foruse on a concave corner of a building. Fig.v 3 is a top view of mycorner-iron as applied to the outside of a building and used inconnection with corrugated iron. Fig. 4c is a top view of my corner-ironas applied to the inside or .outside of a building and--a1sed inconnection with corrugated iron. Fig 5 "is a perspective view of acorner of a house covered with metallic weather-boarding and finishedwith a convex corner-iron, such as shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 6 is asectional view illustratingan ornamental modification of the cornerironshown in Fig. 2, and showing its use as a cornice to cover the anglebetween the ceiling and wall, both the ceiling and the wall beingcovered with corrugated metal. Fig. 7 shows how the corner-iron shown inFig. 6 is modified when the corrugated metal or other metal sheeting isomitted from the wall.

The corner-iron is a strip of sheet metal,

gations of the sheets E.

bent as shown in Fig. 1 for convex corners, and as shown in Fig. 2 forconcave corners. The faces A A are bent at right angles to each other.At the edge of each face A an offset, B, is bent at substantially rightangles to the face which it joins. In the corner-iron for 5 convexcorners the offsets B are bent into the concave angle formed by thefaces A A, and in the corner-iron for concave corners they are bent awayfrom the concave angle formed by the faces A A. Each offset B isprovided with a lip, O, which is parallel, or substantially so, to theadjacent face A. The offsets B are made about equal to or preferablyslightly deeper than the corrugations of the metallic weather-boardingor corrugated iron with 6 which they are to be used.

In use the iron is, in the case of convex an-v gles, fitted against thecorner-post D, the lips C resting against the face of the post and thefaces A set out so as to be in about the same 0 plane with the tops ofthe corrugations, as shown in Fig. 1. The iron is held in place by nailsN, driven into the post D. The corrua gated iron E overlaps the lips G,and its edge fits up against the offset B. Similarly with 7 5 concavecorners, the lips Crest against the wall and are overlapped by thecorrugated iron E, which fits against the offsets B, and the faces A areabout even with the tops of the corru- The corrugated sheet is held inplace by nails a, driven into the post D, the direction of the nailsbeing preferably at right angles to the surface of the corrugated sheetwhere the nail passes through the said sheet.

' \Vhen the corner-iron is to be used for finishing the angle betweenthe ceiling and the wall, as shown in Fig. 6, the metal forming thefaces A Ais preferably bent into some ornamental form, as shown, insteadof making 0 ably inserted between the lip O and the face A, to form abacking through which a nail E overlapping the flanges O O, and abuttingmay be driven. I against the oflsets B B, substantially as and What Iclaim as new and of my invention, for the purposes specified. and desireto secure by Letters Patent, is LONGLEY LEWIS SAGENDOR'PII. 5 Thecombination of the post or posts D and Attest:
